Col. A. K. Mcclure says, "Political
bigotry and the lingering embers OF
sectional passion have been a fearful
fountain of ignorance about the south
throughout the northern states" Yes;
and out of this bigotry has grown a
hatred and prejudice which have been
an evil to the entire country. Col.
Mcclure Is a clear headed northern
man, who has gone among the southern
people, zen for himself that they have
not hoofs and horns, and he has tn,
courage to tell the truth regarding
them. Col. Mcclure, we should say

It Is announced that the plan for the
Panama canal has been changed. 1t
was to be on a tide water level SO that
ships could sail through as III the Suez
canal; but now it is intended TO use
locks, raising part of the level to six
teen feet above the sea. This will
greatly impede navigation, and if there
is as much commerce to pass through as
is estimated, it will be wise to have a
second canal and the American scheme,
across the Nicarguan isthmus, will be
made more feasible and more neces.

TEl IFxINGTON IrTELLIGENCEE, SATURDAY, .

Tom Bashaw, of Monroe, the banner
democratic county of Missouri, is a
manly. honest, straightforward old
fashioned democrat, and his reply
to the aspersions of MIR. Bliss is Just
what might have been expected from
him calm, dignified, yet to the point
and convincing. No n who knows
him will credit him with duplicity, and
1t is q little singular that some people
refuse to see that it is entirely super
erogatory to ask him to pledge himself
to perform a duty which if he receives
the Office OF district attorney he will be
sworn to do. He may be depended on
to do his duty wherever he is placed,
and few men have clearer views as to
what duty means in its highest sense .
If any man in eastern Missouri does
not want to be prosecuted for crime he
had better keep out of Mr.. Bashaw's
iurisdictiOn,
